Emiliano Martinez's FIFA ban comes after offensive behavior during 2026 World Cup qualifiers, highlighting ongoing controversies stemming from his celebratory actions post-2022 World Cup.
The suspension follows two specific incidents: one where Martinez held a replica Copa America trophy provocatively during a win and another where he struck a camera.
Despite the Argentina Football Association's disagreement with FIFA's decision, they acknowledged Martinez's responsibility for his actions, leading to a two-game suspension during crucial qualifiers.
Martinez, the Golden Glove winner at the last World Cup, is now sidelined from vital matches against Venezuela and Bolivia, raising concerns over player conduct.
